Environmentalists Prove to be a Top Contributor for Heinrich Campaign in 2nd Quarter Fundraising

WASHINGTON – During the second quarter of 2011 environmental
donors contributed $34,522 through LCV Action Fund’s GiveGreen to help elect
Martin Heinrich to the U.S. Senate. These funds were raised from the grassroots
support of around 500 individual donors. LCVAF’s GiveGreen website, http://lcv.org/givegreen, is the only
bundling website devoted exclusively to raising money for environmental
champions and candidates.

Navin Nayak, Senior Vice President of Campaigns at the
League of Conservation Voters released the following statement in response:

“Environmental donors are ready to see Martin Heinrich
continue championing clean energy policies as U.S. Senator and are willing to
lay down significant resources to get him across that finish line on Election
Day. These second quarter numbers prove that environmentalists are a force to
be reckoned with in the New Mexico senate race and they are wholeheartedly
backing Martin Heinrich.”

During his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives
representing New Mexico's 1st district Rep. Heinrich has earned a
perfect 100% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard.*
LCV Action Fund’s GiveGreen raised more than $1 million for pro-environment
candidates during the 2009-2010 election cycle.
